Call for Speakers -- March 6, 2014 Symposium
The key to a great conference is great presentations.
Please help make the New York symposium a great event by submitting a speaking proposal by October 28, 2013 for a 20 or 30-minute presentation or solution spotlight or 5-minute lightning talk. Late submissions will be considered on a space-available basis. Each form is described in a section below.
Presentation proposals from end users, analysts, researchers, and consultants in one of the areas that follow are especially welcome, but we will happily consider all proposals. We do aim for a "no sales pitch" policy to discourage product focused presentations although in order to accommodate sponsors, who make the symposium financially viable, we are reserving abbreviated presentations slots for higher-level sponsors.
Note that we expect to receive MANY presentation proposals and will be able to accept only a fraction of the talks proposed. We will not accept any basic, "This is Sentiment Analysis" type talks.
Please submit your proposal by Monday, October 28, 2013. We will aim to notify you in early November whether your proposal is accepted. Selected speakers -- one per presentation (except lightning talks) -- will receive a free conference pass for their own use.
